Zen Cart has been upgraded to version 1.5.1. Version 1.5 had been the most current version so this is a minor upgrade. For those of you running version 1.5 (What version of Zen Cart do I have?), I would strongly suggest upgrading. There are some minor improvements and a number of bug fixes. The reason to upgrade is not for added security.

The reason to upgrade is that keeping current in these small steps is easier and less expensive in the long run than doing a few larger upgrades. If you are interested in upgrading, we are currently running special (expires 9/30) for upgrading to Zen Cart 1.5.1 from version 1.5.

This is important information you should know. You can find what version of Zen Cart you are using by logging into your Zen Cart Admin and clicking on ‘version’ in the header row on the top right. This is circled in purple in the image below.

This page will also show you the history of your Zen Cart and any previous upgrades that have been done. It also displays some basic server information, like your PHP version. In this example, they are using the current 1.5.4 and have been using Zen Cart since version 1.2.6 in 2005.

The current version is 1.5.5e. If you are using anything older, an upgrade is in your future.

Pay special attention if you have 1.3.8. This version has known, unpatched security holes. This left anyone running 1.3.8 in a vulnerable spot and you need to upgrade now. Please contact us for upgrade information.
